* I'm a sucker for a miniskirt
** In other words, it's okay to ask me if I'm on crack for putting Belinda Carlisle on the list... but don't scream that she shouldn't be at 62. Remember when Rolling Stone ranked the greatest songs of all time and included several Backstreet Boys and In-Sync "classics"? Who cares what position they ranked, they shouldn't have been on the goddamn list. Get my drift?

Yay, high five!! Agree totally on Agnetha Faltskog. Absolutely stunning woman. I saw ABBA in concert back in 79 and I spent most of the time oggling her through a pair of cheap binoculars. She's just a natural stunner.

There's a youtube clip of ABBA singing "Sos" on some obscure tv show where both the girls are wearing those skimpy outfits and wriggling around as they do their little dance. Very hot.

Damn. I was sure I had Stevie Nicks on there. Guess not. Good catch Retro Hound. And Joni and Carly - hell yes they're on there. Have a look back at some old photos - no comparison between them and Janis.

Stevie Nicks shouldn't be on the list simply because of her goat voice and dumb gypsy witch clothing. But no Karen Carpenter? She could look pretty good at certain angles where she didn't look too much like her brother.

regular joe - this post states that it's artists who were popular during the sixties - eighties. Thus, no Julie London whose success was waning by the start of the sixties. After '64 it was "Julie who?"

When I saw "Emergency!", I didn't even know at the time that Julie London had been a singer. I enjoyed seeing her in that short, tight, nurse's uniform, and hearing that voice that always gave me shivers. That gorgeous woman could have said she was going to jab my teenage hide with a needle full of rabies virus and I would have been smiling the entire time, lol.

Thanks all for the Julie London love. I'm pretty certain I have some Playboys from the 1960's where Julie London is featured in the record club advertisements, that's about as mainstream popularity as it gets in my book but I bow to your rules, Gilligan.

The big omission (for me) is Dusty Springfield...For the '70's I would add Nicolette Larsen. Not too long before she passed away, she did a cover of "I Only Want To Be With You" which I remember from watching "Solid Gold". She wore a mini with knee high black boots; it certainly got my attention.

I didn't mean to sound snarky about Julie London. But if I included her, then that opens a whole bunch of other lovely gals from that same era - Doris Day, Rosemary Clooney, Astrud Gilberto, Eartha Kitt, Dinah Shore,Connie Francis, etc.

Debbie Harry absolutley captivated me for sooo many years! I was horrendously disappointed when I finally got the opportunity to see her for the first time circa 1995: Hideously drunk & overweight doing karaoke...yes, karaoke, inserting her voice to her own songs, at a local nightclub & we all had to wait 3 hours overdue for her to come out on stage. So drunk she dropped the microphone...twice.

This been a list of female SINGERS there are some names here that in my opinion do NOT qualify a singers, Like Samantha Fox she was a glamour model.Singers with real voices like Elkie Brooks should be way above a lot of these so called singers.As for hot!!! her live shows with "Vinegar Joe" left grown men weak !!

Glaring ommision1, There's probably other's I'm missing but the fact that Debbie Gibson, Tiffany, Kylie Minogue for single vocalists, and Expose are missing is a huge over sight. Had Bananarama not been there it would have been worse. But I'm not sure how the list really works. I mean, is it a list of the hottest looking female singers that can either sing OK, or good, or perhaps great. Or is it a list of the hottest/sexiest sounding female singers that may not look the best but radiate sexiness in their voices?? That said, the singers I listed not only had sexy voices in that they were lively, seemed to be signing to you (like they are you're gf), perfect pitch, diction, annunciation, seemed warm/friendly/lovely .. but they also were VERY attractive. So why are they all missing from this list? My guess is that it's caused by two things. One no one usually knows them all, and there are ones here I haven't heard enough of to make a decision... But also sometimes people develop attitutudes that can either inhibit or bias their decisions. Like for example. Say you have all this respect for Ann wilson, or the two girls from Heart because they are awesome.... Then you see this little 16 year old singer come along. You may not want to say she's as good, so you exclude her. But the list is about sexy. Tiffany, in her way, was very romantic and sexy. So was Debbie, and she was big song writer too. So I'm wonder if the writer is maybe just a bit older, had a few favorites already, and just ditched Debbie and Tiffany. For the blog writer pull up either, put on head phones, let go of preconceived ideas or attitudes and just listen. They are pure and sexy sounding. Kylie, about 10 years older at the time, is a very, very sexy singer on most of her albums. So those are what I'd add for glaring omissions. I'm sure there are more.

another is Tracy Ulman. She is not the very prettiest or best looking, and is a one hit wonder (i think), but that song, "They don't know about us", is just sung perfectly, is sweet and lovely, and seems sexy. I study sound, into music, have a studio, and do many repetitive listens. Even though she has like only one great song I know of, the quality of her singing is so perfect I'm surprised she only did one. Debbie and Tiffany also did perfect on their CD's.

Hello everyone. Here are a few collage-pics I made of some of the lovely Ladies mentioned on the list. You may use them on your retrospace page here.I too would put Olivia Newton-John in the top 2 as well.http://imgbox.com/cYLG4yvx
